Default measure it or weigh it ?

I just got off the phone with hodgon .They tell me to mesure my powder loads because this is a primative powder that +or - 15 grains makes no diference .It seems to me that a load that weights the same every time is going to be more accurate than just filling a graduated tube If you tap the tube the powder settles.You could be adding more or less every time.It seems like a very inaccurate way to be consistant. Weigh your pellets they all weigh the same.Is the powder companys telling us to mesure not weigh to keep muzzle loading primitive? In my powder mesure ive weighed 3 loads with a 15 grain diference. I started weighing my loads and watched my groups shrink in half.BECAREFULL 100 GRAINS OFPOWDER MESURED BY VOLUME IS NOT THE SAME AS 100 GRAINS BY WEIGHT !!!!!!!
